• Episode 241: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 2
    Sep 11 2024

    Karolina used to think the most successful people in life started out with confidence.

    But here’s the raw truth: a lot of us DON’T start with confidence.

    What you really need is the courage to take that first leap. Courage is a choice. Investing in your dream might feel hard, but confidence will follow as you practice and commit.

    This is the second installment of a two-part episode about what Karolina wishes she knew when she started her business. (Make sure you listen to Part 1 if you haven’t already!)

    Karolina talks about the choice to be courageous, why she invested $24,000 in a mastermind, the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship, and how to get out of an employee mindset.

    People whose businesses take off aren’t necessarily smarter. They’re just brave enough to take action faster. Consequently, they fail faster and reach success faster, too.

    If you want to have more impact, freedom and autonomy in your career and become a highly sought after coach, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities, all expenses paid weekend retreat, and four month business mastermind.

    Don’t miss your chance to apply now and join the Fall 2024 cohort, which starts in mid-October.


    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • The #1 expense associated with an online business – and why it’s the most worthwhile investment
    • Employee mindsets vs. entrepreneurial mindsets (and the benefits of having skin in the game vs. hanging out in your comfort zone for too long)
    • Karolina’s favorite practical tips for embracing fear and how to bounce back after setbacks
    • The staggering statistic about millionaires, and the percentage of them who are entrepreneurs!
    • The traits that ALL successful people share and the speed with which they make decisions

  • Episode 239: What I Wish I Knew When Starting My Business Part 1
    Aug 28 2024

    When Karolina first started her business, she would reach an uncomfortable edge every time she had to invest into it.

    Even the very first $20 domain name made her nervous.

    But she realized over time, that in the online coaching and education business, you have some of the lowest expenses and startup costs of any business model.

    You don’t have to invest in office space, get a lease, pay for cost of goods, production or factories, tons of employees, etc.

    Most traditional business models require $500,000 - $1,000,000 in upfront investments to just get the business off the ground.

    But the one thing she realized is the biggest and most important investment?

    Education and mentorship.

    Education into your skills and your business know-how.

    For Karolina, her vision for Euphoric started to take shape while she was working full-time. Hear how much she saved from her paycheck every month, how nervous she was to invest in each program, certification, or coaching she took, and how she’s come to realize that continually investing in your skills and business know-how is the lifeblood of your company.

    Furthering your skills (as a coach) and your business and marketing know-how is literally the most important investment in the business, and the only real big expense in an otherwise low-cost business model.

    Over the years, Karolina has poured over $200,000 into education, coaching, and personal development, with phenomenal returns grossing well over a million dollars in revenue!

    But how did she get there? In this episode, we’ll start at the beginning and normalize each stage of creating a wildly successful online business.

    You’ll hear her favorite hacks for making your first business investments, and how to get your partner on board.

    Believing in your vision fiercely is the type of commitment that will lead you to unparalleled growth and transformation.

    If you’re ready to go all in, apply for the "Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program" – which includes FIVE certifications in different modalities and an all expenses paid weekend retreat!

    Don’t miss your chance to apply now and join the Fall 2024 cohort, which starts in mid- October.

    And tune in next week for Part 2 of this episode.


    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Why the online education/coaching space has some of the lowest start up and maintenance costs of any business model, but why investing in this one area is a must
    • How to make “courageous” investments and bet on yourself, whether for a $20 domain name, or a higher ticket coaching program
    • How Karolina took the leap from full-time employment to running her own business, and how much she leveraged from every paycheck to get there
    • Why you have to 100% believe in yourself and have conviction, without wavering for a second on your vision
    • The “burning the boats” mentality and how making a decisive commitment to your purpose can propel your success!
